Tell me about it. IIRC, the Eagles lost their field out along 530, the club just east of Everett folded, as did the one not too far from Marysville-Pilchuck High School. The only ones I know that are still around are the two in the Monroe area. Granted, it's not a long drive to either one but, when I consider that I used to be able to almost walk to the one by the high school, it does kind of suck
